creed Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Cables idea. Paul Malignaggi "Magic Man" - Not much magic about his boxing power Audley “A Force” Harrison - More like the A-force comic with some of his performances (Haye :lol:) and he wasn't much of a fighter. Any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Re: Boxers with nicknames that just don't suit them --- Ali the self proclaimed The Greatest. Used to be fans and media created the names, not the boxers. The Brown Bomber and Manassas Mauler quite apt for Louis and Dempsey. Ali's real name was Gaseous Cassius, quite the more fitting moniker.

LondonRingRules Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Re: Boxers with nicknames that just don't suit them --- BJ Flores a bad enough moniker when translated into common English, but doubly self cursed as El Peligroso, triply so with a woeful wonder bread boxing style that has earned him zero accolades. His announcing just as laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoztheMadman Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Re: Boxers with nicknames that just don't suit them James "Lights Out" Toney might have been able to punch somebody's lights out before, but after he got fat, all he did was shoulder roll and counterpunch.

nymb242 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Re: Boxers with nicknames that just don't suit them One of my favorites...and I don't remember the fighter's name, there may be a few with this nickname, but "Cloroformo" was a good one. And as I recall, he didn't have an impressive record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cableaddict Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) Re: Boxers with nicknames that just don't suit them I just watched Zhilei Zhang's latest "fight." His opponent, an overweight CW with a dismal record, literally didn't throw a single punch, and dove for the canvas after taking a single glancing blow off the top of his head. No one knows yet if Zhang can actually punch, since he has yet to be in a pro bout that wasn't blatantly fixed. Therefore, as of now he goes to the top of my list: Zhilei “Big Bang” Zhang. I don't think so.:noidea: =================== Runners up: Mitch “Blood” Green. - Unless they meant HIS blood. “Baby” Joe Mesi - Dude was a mean looking HW. Jerry "Wimpy" Halstead - Pretty serious KO ratio for a wimp. Edited October 5, 2016 by Cableaddict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selij Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Re: Boxers with nicknames that just don't suit them "Cloroformo" was a good one A few boxers had this alias - Miguel Angel Castellini, Ruben Padilla but the least likely fit is surely Ammeth Diaz with 14 losses in a 46 fight career. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two more that spring to mind are James "Chunky" Degale - how can anyone who's 12 stone wet thru be described as chunky :noidea: Jason "2 smooth" Booth - nothing smooth about Boothy...........complete pisshead from the reddog city that occasionally interrupted himself from the bar with a boxing match.

Then he grew and wasn't chunky anymore. And he refuses to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Re: Boxers with nicknames that just don't suit them The worst has to be Anthony “Sugar Ray Clay Jones Jr.” Small I remember this particular bellend rather well! Used to come out dressed in a mock suit as well that could be ripped off if I remember correctly aswell. Was great seeing him knocked out after that stunt mind. :haha: How about: Chris "Simply the best, but I'm not like my dad at all, oh and ignore the jump over the rope" Eubank Jr. Not exactly on track for the topic but you get the idea :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Re: Boxers with nicknames that just don't suit them **Update** I just actually did a Google on Anthony Small to see what happened to him and it seems he's a muslim convert, come suspected ISIS sympathiser. Though he was found not guilty for terrorism charges he was charged with some fraud to do with motorcycle fines. Crazy stuff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRingRules Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Re: Boxers with nicknames that just don't suit them “Baby” Joe Mesi - Dude was a mean looking HW. --- Think Jerry was named after Wimpy of Popeye the Sailor Man fame who loved to eat hamburgers. At any rate, Baby Joe hated by usual suspects because of his soft baby looks and regrettable great white hope media tag that even the Kbros suffered from. Pretty babyish here though with his fight face on with black stubble he might intimidate a few soft lads. Boo Boo Andrade pretty bad, and then he complains about nobody wants to fight Boo Boo.

LondonRingRules Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Re: Boxers with nicknames that just don't suit them --- Jesse James would've had you high stepping your imminent death dance if you couldn't choke out a quick apology and exit with yer hat full of holes. At any rate Jesse had a ko of Bradley that was badass before the dummy ref overruled himself. The way he brutalized Ali should put the fear of Jesse's wrath into every PAC fan.
